La Liga 2018-19 Golden Boot: Top Contenders at the start of April 2019

Lionel Messi is one of the contenders for the Award, but how high is he ranked?

#7 Charles (Brazil, SD Eibar) 🡻 🡻 🡻

Goals Scored - 13

After a dream run, the Brazilian had a reality check in the month of March. Charles has dropped three places to 7th as a result of his dismal performances in March. SD Eibar are currently 12 in the league but could slide further down by the end of the season.

Charles, on the other hand, is still 7th in the list only due to better goals per minute ratio. The Brazilian failed to score in any of the four games in March, which included 2 draws, 1 win and 1 defeat for his club. However, he found the net against Rayo Vallecano at the start of April and helped his team earn a vital 2-1 win at home. Last week, Charles was on the bench as Getafe were defeated by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. He came on for the last 6 minutes but failed to have an impact.

The Brazilian has scored 13 goals from 28 games in La Liga so far and is averaging a goal every 115 minutes played. He has a 50% shot accuracy rate in the league this season.
